Very weird, whatever works I suppose. Nice piece of problem solving :)

Not sure if your aware, but I updated the movie fix recently to use dsound.dll rather than ddraw.dll. So you should be able to use both patches together without the need to hex edit the exe. It made the news page at the time, Here's the link.

I've updated my Movie fix patch to piggy back off the dsound.dll instead of the ddraw.dll. So the two should work side by side now. Here's the link: Wc3_Ksaga_Patch_v1.2.zip Let me know if it does the trick.

I created a patch to fix the movie crashing bug a while back. It worked great for me and everyone who tried it at the time. Here's the link. http://www.crius.net/zone/showthread.php?t=24587

Thanks for the feedback guys, it seems the patch is working as intended. If there are any other wc3 problem you think need addressing let me know.

I tried different install types as you suggested Rylex but did not suffer the stuttering problem as you did. The files "gameflow.tre" and "mission.tre" are added in the 41 MB install. So it's probably related to these files being accessed faster than the movie "tre" files which still run off the...

A new version of the patch is available. I've made some changes to the way its loaded by the game which should make it easier to install, I've added a series of slowdown fixes for the Pre Flight Power-up Screen and I've also added an ini file where you can adjust the slowdown delays to your own...

Thats a bummer :(. I should be able to fix it though. I'll PM you when I upload a new version.

I'm glad to here it's working for you Rylex. There are a couple things I might add in the future but I have to find them in the exe first, which may take some time. So I have no immediate plans to update the patch. The original xanlib.dll is still needed so if you want the patch to be install...

Your files all look the right size to me. I'm still leaning towards this being the movie crashing bug, with the difference in read speed between dvd and cd aggravating the problem. This makes you a perfect candidate to try a new patch I just created...

Hi all, This patch is an attempt to fix some of the problems associated with running the Windows version of Wing Commander 3 on modern OSes and on modern hardware. This release includes a fix for the 'Ingame Movie Crashing Bug' and a slowdown fix for the Nav Map Screen. Installation...

Yeah it kind of sounds like the dreaded WC3 KSaga Movie bug to me. I tried misnaming the music.tre files just in case you made a mistake and couldn't create the error you specified. If it is the Movie bug you should check in the Stickys for a thread by Mincemeat that may help. To answer your...

Here's a link to some instructions I posted a couple of years back. http://www.crius.net/zone/showpost.php?p=324345&postcount=30 And if you want the addons 'secret missions' and 'special operations' on the dvd as well here's another post from the same topic...

Wc4 has a problem with the video, it will begin stuttering and become unplayable after a few minutes. Skipping through the movies seems to hold off this problem for a while, but it will crash eventually. I'm running the Pal version of Wc4 on DA's 3.30a custom firmware. Does anyone else...
